Many of our travellers come to Morocco on their own – men and women – and most of them leave wanting to return. With a bit of preparation, travelling solo here is safe, rewarding and full of warm encounters.
Is it safe?
Morocco is a welcoming country and serious incidents against tourists are rare. The most common annoyances are insistent sellers and unofficial "guides" in the medinas. Read our full guide: is Morocco safe to visit?
Tips for the medinas
- A friendly but firm "no, thank you" and keep walking.
- Book a licensed local guide for your first visit to Fes or Marrakech – it saves time and stress.
- Download offline maps: phone signal can drop between the high walls.
- Agree prices before taking a taxi or buying something.
What to wear
Clothes that cover shoulders and knees are respectful in medinas and villages and attract less attention, especially for women travelling alone. On the coast and in hotels you can dress more freely.
Getting around on your own
Trains between Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, Fes and Tangier are comfortable. For the desert and the south, a private driver is the easiest and safest option – and travelling privately, you set the pace. See car hire or a driver? and our tailor-made trips.
Meeting people
Riads are small and sociable, and a night in a desert camp around the fire is one of the best ways to meet other travellers and local families.

Frequently asked questions
Is Morocco safe for solo female travellers?
Yes, many women travel alone in Morocco. Dress modestly in traditional areas, use licensed guides in the big medinas and travel with a trusted driver in rural areas.
Is a private tour expensive for one person?
The vehicle and driver cost the same for one or two travellers, so the price per person is higher when travelling alone. We can suggest options to keep it reasonable.
Can I join a group tour instead?
We only organise private trips, so you travel at your own pace with your own driver.
